Fascism has always been about corruption.
In related news I see Farage is off to support Trump rather than fail in yet another seat here. I guess he views America as closer to his fascist dreams than the UK.
Nigel Farage won’t stand in UK election because Trump is higher priority
Brexiteer says he wants to help with the grassroots campaign’ in the forthcoming American election, UK vote be damned.www.politico.eu
I have never voted Tory in my life but I don’t enjoy reading this kind of tribal vitriol.I’m hoping corruption rises to the fore. Tory Party finances needs blowing wide open under the brightest spotlight. Labour might be too tainted to do this, but other smaller parties should be able to along with countless pressure groups. These parasites have stolen so many £bns from the public purse and received so much dirty oligarch money for favours they need naming, shaming, and ideally charging and jailing. The campaign can’t get dirty enough IMHO. We need to rip these thieving criminal shits apart. Expose exactly who and what they are and exactly what they did to this country.
I fear there may be much truth in this.Correct.
5-10 years of neoliberal tinkering (at best!) under Labour.
Followed by a renewed, far-right Conservative Party (or, less likely, Reform).
To quote another poster, on another thread, it will be "hilarious".
Reassuring vid, genuinelyWe can see he is so much a better, nicer man than Sunak (who dedicated his life to making money and marrying money and didn't even want working class friends... ).
What a great moment it will be when the exit polls let us know he will be the next Prime Minister.
Let's see. We need a change and they're the shoo-in it would seem. As/more right wing? Let's see again. I guarantee they will be less evil and cruel.
Worse than the Tories' welfare reforms of the last 14 years?Ask any disabled person about New Labour's work capability assessments.

We mustn't forget, that people who smoke, don't need to be told, its not good for them, they're not stupid. Secondly, it does not matter, what scenario the ,almost left party inherit, the redtops will see to it, that they can't, do it.Two litle observations for what they're worth.
First, we've lost the smoking legislation. This is a major deal and I hope whoever wins revives it.
But second, if Labour win, they will face one of the most structurally challenging situations of any incoming Government since the 70s.
Same,I always vote Green. Nothing changes chez moi, so all the brouhaha is irrelevant!
This isn’t wrong but it’s also a cover story, in the same way that Gordon Brown’s spending was a cover story for the coalition. I don’t see it working though. In theory, in their own minds, facing huge structural challenges is a compelling reason for proceeding “cautiously” and a convincing excuse for delivering very little. In reality, huge structural challenges demand the kind of ambitious, contentious policies that they don’t want to consider and are not capable of delivering, having purged everyone who understood the issues. They’re not going to be able to scheme and bullshit their way through the challenges ahead, and if they other strings to their bow they’re keeping quiet about them.Two litle observations for what they're worth.

Time to register to attend one of his meetings with a fake name and not turn up again...Clearly the grifting options are far more rewarding over there.
